What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
My sister is in jail on misdemeanor drug charges from several years ago. She is 4 months pregnant and told her court appointed lawyer that when her court date came up. She was sentenced to 8 months. The lawyer told my mom that they didn't care about my sisters prenatal care, only that she didn't stay in jail long enough to have the baby because the state doesn't want that bill. The intake nurse informed my sister that she would receive an extra meal a day and milk at every meal because of the pregancy. She is only receiving milk once a day like the other inmates and has had several pregnancy related medical problems. SHe is not gaining weight and had passed out several times. My sister has put in a request twice to see a doctor and they have been ignored both times. Prenatal depression runs in our family. My mother had it with both of us and I had it with both of my children. I am concerned about her and the wellbeing of the baby. Any suggestions?
